Hi Konrad and Julia,
As per Konrad's request, I uploaded my comments about this section to the site in the pages and files area (since it was too many characters to just post as a comment here).
Thanks,

Hey Megan,
I read your comments. Thanks--I really appreciate them!
You are welcome to go ahead and implement any of the changes that you want, or you can leave them to me. Whatever you would prefer. I currently working on the classroom practices section, which has become monstruously long, and therefore making editing take forever
If you don´t want to work on the substantive edits to the section but you want to do the formatting--that would be amazing! As is evident in my entries I am definitely not good at formatting.
But please, take on editing whatever aspects you want to and just let me know if you if there are any changes that you didn´t get to!
Thanks!
Julia
